"I remember that one seemed to be a restriction on the number of troops in the corps, and the other was the loss of elite veterans. General Zhang also sent an assist at that time, allowing Zilong to step down safely." Guo Jia thought for a while and said.
"After the food problem ended in Taishan, I began to change the model of soldiers retiring and enlisting. Recruiting new people is really nonsense, and retiring at the age of thirty is really a waste. I have the idea of recycling and reusing resources.
, I have completed this military system, and by the way, the field soldiers are regarded as farmers, and they have always been in my name." Chen Xi said with some pride.
Chen Xi really couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. With this method, he gradually accumulated a huge amount of reserve troops, and they were not the kind of parallel-imported recruits, but real elites. This was also the key to Chen Xi's confidence in defeating Cao Cao and Sun Ce.
reason.
No matter how strong the opponent is, it no longer has much substantive significance to Chen Xi now. With the combat power Chen Xi possesses now, as long as he fights steadily and does not rush, any strategy will only lead to a dead end in the face of this kind of military situation.
.
This is the most real hard power. Although civil servants and generals can also determine the direction of the war, when there is no obvious gap between the civil servants and generals of the two sides, in fact, the most real gap is the most basic logistics, military strength and the quality of the soldiers.
.
"Well, if you put it this way, after the merger of the three companies, there will be almost a million troops." Li You frowned and said, raising troops is indeed a very expensive thing.
"Well, it doesn't count as militancy. You can rest assured on this aspect. The next more important thing is to let Weishuo carry out publicity. We need to change the propaganda caliber. Then the people will inevitably migrate." Chen Xi smiled.
He said, after all, they had never set their goal on civil war from the beginning. If they wanted to go out without millions of troops, it would be too much to think about.
Li Yang nodded. Although Liu Yan has done very little in recent years, Liu Yan's publicity has greatly improved Liu Bei's reputation, and more importantly, Liu Yan's publicity has often made them
Stand at the highest point of morality.
It is precisely because of this that Li You has always been very optimistic about Liu Yan. He is indeed a character. At least Li You does not think that he can make the world's most famous people speak out with him.
Although the method used by Liu Yan was a bit bad, for someone like Li You, it doesn't matter if the method is bad, as long as it can succeed, it's not a problem at all.
"I have agreed to their large-scale troop training plan, and I just happened to take it to Yecheng for a tour to let the people determine the strength of our army. As for the material consumption of troop deployment and the possible turmoil caused by troop deployment, I am working on it here
Make adjustments, and occasionally shake." A cold look flashed in Chen Xi's eyes.
"Have you heard any rumors?" Li You asked.
"I think it's because some people under Cao Gong and Sun Bofu are not convinced, and Zichuan wants to make them understand his own position." Guo Jia thought of what he had seen through the intelligence recently. The upper echelons of Sun Ce and Cao Cao were relatively stable.
Although I have plans to do one, I have no intention of destroying the entire Central Plains, but there have been some rumors in private.
"I'm afraid it's not just this aspect. You guys came so early." Fazheng yawned a little tiredly and said. In fact, the three of them had already noticed it when he entered the door, but they were not aware of the current Fazheng.
No need to hide anything.
"Well, it's early for you, Xiaozhi." Chen Xi waved and said.
"There was such a thing yesterday, so of course I don't dare to run around today. Are you talking about military service?" Fazheng came halfway, so he didn't hear the whole story. Chen Xi explained it.
"Are you going to start cleaning up the house?" Fazheng didn't feel sleepy at all after hearing this. Li You, Chen Xi, and Guo Jiajin all nodded. That's what he meant.
"Yes, we have been going smoothly all the way. There are many speculators under Duke Xuande, but we have strict control, so no one can influence Duke Xuande. But now we are about to unify, and internally
You all know what the sound is." Chen Xi nodded calmly and said.
"No wonder I heard people say that people often go to Cui Jigui these days." Fazheng said, stroking his chin, "So quickly someone wants to share the credit."
"That's because Cui Jigui is upright and constantly investigates and punishes everyone under his control. He is not afraid of confronting anyone at the right time." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "If they can get in touch with you, I'm afraid they won't mind coming to talk to you.
Get some air."
"After all, they are about to be unified. This is the time when they work the hardest and the time they are looking forward to the most. I'm afraid it's similar to the situation before Gaozu's canonization. At most, it's not that chaotic." Li You didn't feel too good about this aspect either.
The method, this is the human heart.
"There are not many people who are purely for ideals, so we reunited later, but everyone didn't get what they expected. I'm afraid there are disappointed officials everywhere, and then there will probably be a large group of people who will support us." Chen Xi held up his hands.
He crossed his arms and said with a sneer.
"It's human nature." Li You said very understandingly. After all, what is the purpose of being an official or a soldier? It is purely for ideals. Either it was defeated by reality early, or it was forcibly transformed. The former is endless, while the latter is only a handful.
number.
In this way, the purity of the entire bureaucracy is, how should I put it, that it is inevitable to climb up whether it is to get better at life or to realize an ideal.
If Liu Bei ascends the throne, it will be a feast for all the officials under Liu Bei's rule, so no matter how many times Liu Bei has said it before, these officials will choose to support him.
In reality, maintaining the current situation is absolutely beneficial to the subsequent development, but for most of the current officials under Liu Bei's rule, their purpose from the beginning is their own interests, and compared to the development
The lasting benefits brought by the country are not as great as the immediate benefits brought by owning a slave dragon.
"In short, the situation is like this. I think it is necessary to let these guys calm down. Don't always think about destroying the situation I have finally arranged. Even if I want to ascend the throne, it is not now." Chen Xi said with a dark face. A group of people didn't want to do it.
Cake, the guy who just wants to eat cake.
"That's enough. We still need them to work. The whole system cannot be maintained by just a dozen of us. The middle and lower-level officials are the most important. We are more planning and steering." Guo Jia said silently.
Said, he actually saw it very clearly.
"We need to make them understand the huge gap in strength between the two sides, and then destroy the network they have woven for so long in one fell swoop to let them understand who is in charge." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "How dare you actually penetrate without any trouble?
, I really deserve a beating."
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, you all know where our middle and lower classes come from. It's not easy for them to be suppressed to this extent. It's normal for them to join forces now and want a share of the pie." Li You looked at it instead.
Very open.
Chen Xi looked at Li You with a ghostly expression on his face. This was a literary scholar who suggested killing all day long. How could he say such a thing? He hadn't woken up yet.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm just telling the truth, this time it's enough." Li You said calmly, "This kind of human nature needs to be understood, not to mention that they just have such an idea and have not taken any action yet.
Just give me a warning."
"Why do you think they are not stable?" Chen Xi said helplessly. He, Chen Xi, had never treated someone who was actually working poorly. If you work obediently and be less calculating, Chen Xi will ensure that everything you deserve will fall into your hands.
"I think too much, and I have developed the habit of having a high self-esteem over the years." Fazheng curled his lips and said, "Maybe many people think that I am sitting in this position because of luck. Maybe he comes here.
We can do better, that’s all.”
"So let's have a wave, let them feel the huge gap between the two sides, and then chop off their claws that are reaching out to the army." Chen Xi said with a smile, "It just so happened that Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu were not convinced, and there were still disputes under their rule and under our rule.
There are a lot of moths, so pour a bucket of water on them and let them calm down and understand that this is still an era."
"If you want to play by the way, let's play a big one. We also invite the disabled veterans from the past. Although it is impossible to improve the welfare, we can still let them know that the Han Dynasty still remembers them, heroes who have fought for the country.
"Chen Xi has already thought about it. We can't give him benefits, but he can still give him honors.
"The next step is to offer sacrifices to heaven, right?" Guo Jiayi raised his eyebrows and said, "After offering sacrifices to heaven, they then moved to the Jingling Hall, and now you have finally built a home for the soldiers from all over the place?"
"I don't want to take so long, but this kind of thing is under construction across the country. Even if I want to go fast, I have to push forward step by step. But fortunately, the construction has been completed according to my requirements." Chen Xi said rather helplessly.
, anything will be bad once it reaches the national level.
"It just so happens that we will take advantage of this wave of moving the memorial tablets of soldiers who died in battle back to their hometowns. With such a start, all regions will take this matter very seriously and will not mess with it." Fazheng nodded, expressing satisfaction with Chen Xi's plan.
"Well, the above can be regarded as honoring the dead, and it also gives all the soldiers a thought, letting them understand that if they reach this level one day, whether they are disabled or killed in battle, the country will give an account.
"Chen Xi said calmly, let the soldiers who fought for the country bleed and shed tears, and the future generations will not be healthy. Chen Xi will kill each one when he sees it!
"People's morale and military morale are very important at all times." Chen Xi looked at Li You and the others and said, "And we should also find a way to tell the soldiers something, such as why we are fighting. This is a very important question.
, Alas, originally these things could be left to others to solve, but now I’d better forget it and I’ll figure it out myself.”
